I read this book, expecting that it might be a helpful resource for our church's teens and young adults. It certainly is, but I found that much of it applied to my own search for "God's will for my life...."

Wonderful book! A lot of useful information.

This book is eye opening and burden lifting. So much of what I though was true with seeking and finding God's will is simplified in this little book. Highly recommend if you have been struggling with your purpose in life.

It's short and to the point. It's an easy, conversational style but drops some really important, practical wisdom on you. SUPER helpful when you're feeling the weight of big decisions.

In "Just Do Something," Kevin DeYoung hopes to convince his readers that finding the will of God is not as challenging as some make it seem. The majority of the chapters involve dissecting misconceptions on finding Gods will and the authors perspective on how these views are oftentimes unhelpful and confusing. With a lighthearted approach, DeYoung discusses some common methods that people may use to inquire of Gods will such as using Gideons wool, open doors, and other signs. Whatever avenues one uses to find Gods will, the approach that the author would most certainly object to is to plainly do nothing as denoted by the books title. DeYoung suspects that many younger generation Christians are afraid of the consequences of picking a path that would fall outside of Gods predetermined plan for their lives. DeYoung points out that many would rather wait on the sidelines until they can perceive a clear sign from God on which way to go rather than risk either missing or misconstruing Gods will. However, the author argues that Gods sovereignty oversees all the decisions we make and the way to go about lifes decisions rests on simply stepping out in obedience and allowing God to lead the way. As long as we strive to honour God in all our decisions, consider carefully the facts with the rational mind God has given us, and step out in faith, we can pick amongst any option made available to us. To close off the book, the author helpfully dedicates the last couple of chapters to providing practical advice on how we should approach decisions on work and marriage.

I would gladly recommend this book to Christians of all ages anxiously waiting for God to reveal the next step in their lives. I wish I could have read this when I was younger as I incessantly went back and forth trying to figure out what job God wanted me to do. DeYoungs advice may seem too simple to be true but if we believe that God loves and cares for us, we should be confident that He will reveal His will to us when we obey Him. The author points out that God has no reason to hide His will from us but instead hopes for us to rely on Him no matter what decisions that we may make. As long as we love God and those around us in whatever that we do, we can rest assured that we are within Gods will for us.
